6 a.m.–8 p.m., Location TBD
Rafa Esparza’s RED SUMMER, freedom is an endless meeting. and i don’t miss your heat. but here we are again., is a meditation on the year 2015—the bloodiest in the recorded history of police killings in the United States. In a work that takes the form of a durational poem, elapsing over the course of a day from sunrise to sunset, Esparza will enact the ritualistic practices of digging as a way of highlighting the prevailing effects of a local and national militarized police force.
Event Date: Saturday, Aug. 13, 6 a.m.–8 p.m.
Venue: Location TBD
Price: Free
